Neiman @ Knitty

I've been waiting to show photos of this sweater since MAY!!! It is now up for public consumption in the Fall issue of Knitty. I feel particularly special because I think this issue of Knitty is AWESOME!

Hi, I love this sweater but I hate knitting cotton blends at a tight gauge. I hope this isn't a stupid question but could I just knit it at the recommended gauge or is there a reason why it would look rubbish?

Thanks for the comments, everyone! To answer your question, Mooncalf, there is absolutely no reason you can't substitute a wool yarn and achieve the same effect, as long as it's got a rather tight twist and matte sheen.
